You can also go to other countries. Our son did a summer of WWOOFing on a farm in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, harvesting ginger and pineapples. This was in a Maroon community (founded by enslaved Africans who escaped into the interior to form their own society). An elderly relative of the farm owner spent a lot of time with him and taught him to recognize many wild plant species and what their traditional medicinal uses are. It was such a unique opportunity; I'm so glad he was able to experience it.
